The legislature ran paaa lawa wbl' h 
the executive depart ment l< reejulred 
by the constitution to obey, and mai 
declare what money nhall be collect. -d 
and what it tnny be used for, hat the 
governor has no rlubt to m t as )ndg« 
or demand that any court shall follow 
his fafltaJn of the law. 

Neither the governor nor the courta 
have any nicht to demand that tbn 
general aaeerubly ahull enact any law 
which tbey may thluk neceaaary, or In 
ony way regulate the public pollcv 
which it ia the function of the general 
ataembly to fix. 

The general assembly has no rl«h: 
to act Judicially except In the case ex 
preaaly declared la the constitution 
It haa no more right to perform any 
duty of the governor or the auditor or 
treaaurer, and It haa at leaat no moral 
right to Lake from the executive

every departure from this rule of ac-

the governor wishes earneatly. and for 
no personal benefit, but for the good 
of all. that both parties and all three 
branches of the goveiumeni and every 
member. Judge and ufTirer will be la 
the highest and best sense aajgflgj and 
will deserve and win good will and 
praise for himself from all of the (peo-

Not Aa-etintj for Power. 
I have not spoken of the nttlng 
down the power and efficiency of the 
executive branch of the government 
by the changea in the lawa which have 
taken from it the power and rontrol 
meant to be vested In the governor, 
and In fart ao vested in other atatea, 
lieeaitse of any peteoual wlah to have

I am grateful In the party which 
nominated ti e and brought about my 
election I am grateful to those not 
usually part of It who helped make the 
change In the executive depaitiiiciu. 
I respect my party and theae eb nu nu 
and hold to the faith that th. Ir Influ- 
ence is for the beat Interest of the 
aUte; but my obligations, second only 
to my duty to the whole people, are to 
elements rather than to Indivl-mala. 

What I have had to aay on this sub- 
ject Is leas Important to me, with b-.a 
than two years of my term remaining, 
ihan It will be to thoae ot any isarty 
who shall come after me. The actual 
and only reason for referring to it ia 
that the present laws not only en- 
croach upou the executive branch, hut 
iiuike the conduct of Ihe |Hibllc busl- 
ines less useful, more coat I) and less 
creditable lo the people Mian it would 
be If any man holding the office of

quitted, a man whom he had called 
friend and looked upon with aff

The driver, after taking up hla far*, 
had nt her direction drawn over to

the rabble which besieged the St

numheia. aud through which Mallland. 
loo impatient to think of leaving by

fought his way in an agony of appre 
hennlon tbat brooked no hindrance, 
heeded no difficulty. 

He dashed round the corner, *top r *d 
"h«rt wlih a linking heart, then a* 
tbe cabby'* signaling whip across the 
street caught hi* eye. fairly hurled 
hltnaelf to the other curb, pauiing at 
the wheel, breathless, lifted out of 
himself with Joy to find her faithful 
In this ulilmat* Instance. 

She wa* recovering, whose high splr 
It and recuperative power* were to 
him then and alwaya remained a mar 
velous thing; and she waa bendlni; 
forth from the body of the han*oin t. 
welcome him with a smile that in a 
twinkling made radiant the world to 
him who stood In a gloomy *lde (tree' 
of New York at three o'clock 
of a dimmer'* morning—* good 
hour and a half befor* tha dawn 
Kor up there In the tower of tin-

color In her cheek* and heighten. 1 
the glamour In her ey*s. 

And lie stood and stared, know n

climbed up on tbe al*p with no oih. r

In a steady small voice, "to pretend

"It is unnecessary that you should

"That >ou brought bark the Jewel*,

Hut she had drawn away, had

"You — yon don't understand," sb* 
told him in a rush. "You gtv* me

Commercial fertllliers arc valueless 
In a dead soil, or In other words, s

is known as nitrification Induced by 
ltvlns organisms called nitrifying bac 
telia; these minute onanisms cannot 
live In a dead or run-together »oll 
and h.-nce no nitrification. 

Without nitrification the phosphor

be released, nature wisely locks It up 
against the Soil Kobber" and his 
farm becomes a barren waste. Bat 
boo are we to avoid this alarming 
condition, and how are we to sgb- 
senre fertility? Nitrogen, when pro- 
cured in a commercial form la tbe 
most expensive fertilizer, and yet 
nature supplies It free of coat If we 
are not too arbitrary to allow her to

be brought Into requisition by tb* 
groalng of legume*: legumes are 
plants that bear their seeds In pods, 
such as peas, besns, clover, alfalfa,

Iced on the roots of clover and cow 
peas, small nodules, or bump*, these 
are the habitation of the bacteria 
we have mentioned, which take up 
tbe nitrogen that has passed Into 
the soil and convert it Into a per- 
centage of food for the plant upon 
whose root* they are found. It will

ficient for two succeeding crop* In A 
If the soil is thli. devoid 
humus plow this crop— If cow

the nitrogen in the crop back again 
to the soil, beside adding tbe much

pouuda of bone meal to the acre; 
this we know Is a new departure, 
but it Is coming into practice rapidly 
In the middle western psrt of the 
•Utr. and Is eminently successful 
The bone meal Is giving you phos- 
phorus, which Is the one constituent 
of plant food, more than any 
that is lacking In Kentucky. 

Take off the first crop of 
al the proper time, pasture the **c 
ond. but not too heavy, and plow 
the balance under the M xt spring 
for corn. Tbia la only a method, but 
It must be apparent to any man of 
good Judgment that it is practical 
and based on good logic; it is not a 
theory, aa we shall not indulge in 
anything 'bat is not practical, and 
hich has not proven successful. If.

Rom* people swell up on "emotion" 
brewed from absolute untruth 

It's sn old trick of the leaders of th - 
Labor Trust to twist facta and ma ti- 
the "sympathetic ones" "weep at th. 
Ice bouse." t Unit s part of the tal- 
further on > 

Uompers ft af sneer at. spit upon 
and defy our courts, seeking sympattn 
by falsely telling the people the cour:-. 
were trying to deprive them of fr ■ 
gpeech and free press. 

Men can speak freely and print oplu 
lona freely in this country and n 
court will object, but they cannot 
allowed to print matter as part of a 
criminal conspiracy to InJ.ire and ruin 
other cltlxens. 

Uompers and bis trust assoclat". 
started out to ruin the Hucks St.-. s 
Co., drive Its hundreds of workup ■ 
out of work and destroy the value of 
the plnnt without regard to the fact 
that hard earned money of n en who 
Worked, had been Invested there 

The conspirators were told by the 
courts to stop these vicious 'trust" 
methods, (efforts to break the lira 
that won't come ui.-'er trust rule), bat 
Instead of stopping they "dare" the 
courts to punish them at.' demand 
new laws to protect them in s b de- 
structive and tyrannical arts as they 
may desire to do • • • The r> asoa 
(lornpers and his bsnd persisted In try- 
ing to ruin th* Hucks Stove W.trks 
was because the stove company instat- 
ed on tho right to keep some old em- 
ployees at work when "de union" or- 
dered them discharged and sotn* of 
•de gang" put on. 

Now let us reverse the condlUcst* 
Ud have a look. 

Suppose the company had order**! 
the union to dismiss certain mm from 
their union, and, the demand Lring re- 
fused, should Institute a boycott 
against that union, publish its name 
In an "unfair Hat," Instruct other man- 
ufacturers all over the I nlted states 
not to buy the labor of that union, 
hsve committees call at store*, and 
threaten to boycott If the n.. r. bant* 
sold anything made by thn' union. 
Picket th. factories where in. -rubers 
work and slug th. m on the way bom*, 
blow up their houst>s and WTOClJ the 
works, and even murder a few mem- 
bers of the boycotted union to teach 
tueui they must obey the orders Of 
"organ I - • •! Capital?" * 

It would certainly be fair for the 
company to do these things If lawful 
tyr the Labor Trust to do them 

In such a rase, under our laxrg the 
boycotted union could hftply i« our 
courts and the eourta would order 
tb • compr.ny to cease boy... -'lug and 
trylnrj to ruin these union meg Hup 

I lie '- i poll the com | ,u> kbould 

gneer at the court and In open d. Bance 
continue the unlawful acts In a per 
alstent. carefully laid out plan, pur- 
posely Intended to ruin the union 
and force Its members Into poverty 
What a howl would go up from the 
union demanding that the courts pro- 
tect them and punish their law break- 
ing oppressors. Then Hi. y would 
praise tbe courts and go on earning a 
living protected from ruin end happy

In connection with tbe Hucks' Stove 
and range company, as "a willful, pre

Hums, general master workman ot the

has voiced • sever* condemnation of 
these three leaders. Mr Haras ex 
pressed his confidence In courts In gen 
eral and In those of tbe Mslrl«t of 
Coluuibls In particular. 

areaovrn rr n« rc.Trs 

This rebuke by Hums waa In his an- 
nual report to th* general assembly of 
his organisation. He received the 
henrty approval of tbe delegate* who 
beard It read at their auuual meeting 
In this city. 

"There Is no trust or combination of 
<apii.il In tbe world." said Mr. Hums, 
"that violates laws oftener than do the 
trust labor organisations, which resort 
to more dishonest, unfair and dlsbon 
orable methods toward their competl 
tors than any trust or cotublusllous In 
the country." 

Mr. Hums said th* action of "the** 
so-called leaders" would be harmful 
for years to come whenever attempts

"That he haa maintained hi* leader-

b.en on account partly of tbe sentl

We quote portion* of another article 
a reprint, from tb* sam* labor paper 

"Organised labor, through III lead

l ast If they expect to perpetual* their 
organisation* or to develop the xtove-

no organisation, no nation ran develop

mention the Pederstlon of Lnbor psr 
Ocularly In this article, because that 
organisation Is the only organlietlm 
of Isbor which has yet found Itself in 
direct oppoaition to the laws of th* 
land. There are other organisations of 
labor whose leaders hsve made mis- 
takes, but they have always kept them-

th* bounds of the law and respected 
the rights of every other man In con 
sidertng the rights of then. selves and

and unleas tbe leaders couform them
